The \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"il\"\u003eInvaders\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e made some of our \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"il\"\u003eall\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e time favorite records - back in 2013 we issued five 45’s of their brilliant, sometimes plaintive, sometimes hopeful and sweet early roots music. Their sound touches folk and gospel in lovely subtle ways that elevate them above the many harmony groups of the early roots reggae era. Since the start of DKR we were striving to learn more about the group - and despite being able to license a portion of their output for reissue, and get anecdotes about them here and there, we were never able to connect with the group themselves. But we never gave up asking about them, and finally in 2024 we were able to link with Delroy “Bongo Pat” Forde, the surviving member of the group. Unfortunately other \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"il\"\u003eInvader\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e, Lloyd “Paddy” Campbell passed on several years back. To hear and learn their full story, you need to check out this album and read the liner notes.
